Tesla Model Y

You can't have a tow hitch and a change of color and get the grant.

Also, I suspect they (Tesla) were waiting for the budget to see whether the grant would continue before doing this change.

Hope you got on the MSM train!

(If I were buying I think I'd take white with tow hitch over MSM, unfortunately. I love MSM but not enough to pay 5k extra for it)

This makes this car same price as a Model 3? Something isn’t right? Also notice price doesn’t list 5K grant in the breakdown? I hope it’s true though as it will sell like hot cakes!

great for modely buyers alright but the pricing screws the model 3 lol

Can see a price reduction coming in the model 3 if thats the case

Yeh, I think the M3 will go down in price. How can it be the same price as the MY?

Agree. My only concern with this pricing is selfishly hoping it doesnt hit M3 RWD tradein values in 12 months!

I have a 3 year PCP on my current m3. Interest is 4.6%. My rationale then as now is it's less than inflation.

Mine is with Finance Ireland and not AIB. AIB only offered HP which I wasnt interested in.

GFMV in 3 years is 23,187. There's zero chance it gets to that, so I will have some equity built up for trade in.

You have to click through and select "Cash" as a payment method to get the actual price, ignore the displayed prices

Is anyone who got a September m3 considering the change, I’m very tempted

Tough call, pros and cons. The M3 has better range (not a lot but every bit counts), quicker and I think the styling looks nicer. On the MY pro side, you'll get the practicality of a hatchback, higher driving position (better visibility and easier to get into) and it's also wider too. It also comes with the premium stereo unlike the partial premium stereo in the M3 RWD. Interesting to see how that affects the M3 resale value in 2023 or if Tesla will lower the price of the M3? The good news for M3 Sept owners, you managed to get the lower price before the last price increases. Anything could happen in 2023, prices could go up or down, who knows. Both cars are awesome at the end of the day.

Would it be Berlin build so no import duty?

I would consider the Y just because of the boot space and its a hatch back.

But I'd lose too much trading in a car I just bought a few weeks ago.

Plus I positively hate the rear end of the mY. Its horrible.

Shorter range on the Y too and it's not as efficient.

So basically I've decided against losing 10k or so just for the boot.

It's mad how prices change like this overnight with tesla. So many variables.

This is massively going to hurt the future resale value of the m3 though. No doubt about it.

Probably not worth trading from a 2022 M3 to a MY.

In my case, from a 2019 M3 Performance, I'm losing the acceleration (about double to 100km/h), and the radar (which is not used for autopilot anymore anyway) but getting:

• hatch, powered (big plus with a dog)
• wireless phone charging
• better headlights (probably?)
• going white interior this time, still white exterior since none of the other colours do much for me
• LFP battery (hopefully the buffer issues get sorted in a few months)
• in theory less range, but with the M3 Performance I'm using most horsepower every chance I get, no it's not getting old (😀), since new average energy usage 230Wh/km over 35k km) and with charging to 100% possible/recommended every day, probably not much difference 'in the real world'
